For fastest print times, choose JPEG encoding, but inspect printed output carefully
for unwanted artifacts that may appear as a result of JPEG compression. If you see unexpected

Printing CMYK EPS files saved with PostScript Color Management
If you select the Photoshop PostScript Color Management option when you save a CMYK
EPS image, Photoshop embeds PostScript color information that defines the CMYK source
color space of the image. When you print a CMYK EPS file that contains PostScript color
information to the Color Server, CRDs are used instead of ColorWise CMYK Simulation
and Simulation Method settings. Choose the appropriate setting for the Rendering Style
option.

Printing CMYK graphics with Photoshop PostScript Color Management
If you select a CMYK color space and decide to use PostScript Color Management,
Photoshop sends CMYK data to the Color Server along with PostScript color information
defining this CMYK color space. When you select PostScript Color Management, a CRD is
used to perform color conversions to the CMYK color space of the Color Server.
Photoshop sends CMYK data to the Color Server along with PostScript color information
defining this CMYK color space. When you select PostScript Color Management, a CRD is
used to perform color conversions to the CMYK color space of the Color Server.
The destination color space for the CRDs is determined by the RGB Separation print option.
If RGB Separation is set to Simulation, the CMYK graphic is printed according to all
specified CMYK Simulation Profile and CMYK Simulation Method settings. If RGB
Separation is set to Output, the CMYK graphic is converted to the CMYK color space of the
selected output profile.

the Photoshop Multi-Channel feature to define spot channels and then save the image in EPS
format and open it in another application. For more information see your Photoshop
documentation.
